A group of bikini-clad protesters have descended on Bondi Beach to protest a bikini ban – but it’s all for a new show.
The cast of the Stan Original Series Ten Pound Poms celebrated the upcoming season return, at a special event at Sydney’s iconic Bondi, ahead of International Women’s Day.
As Ten Pound Poms returns for a brand new season March 10, its storylines shine a light on the restrictions women endured, specifically in the 1950s – the era in which the series is set.
From bikini bans to being barred from pubs-mirroring historical protests that fought for women’s rights in Australia, the show covers it all.
To mark the occasion, Stan staged a powerful activation: a reimagining of the 1950s Bondi bikini protest, which drew a huge crowd of curious bystanders at Bondi, Bronte and Coogee beaches.
Ten Pound Poms stars Stephen Curry, Tina Bursill, Cheree Cassidy, Maya Stange and Grant Lyndon were joined by 35 women.

They were dressed in hand-sourced original 1950s bikinis and swimsuits, styled with period hair and makeup.
The ‘protesters’ stepped off a vintage red double decker bus and marched onto Bondi Beach, placards in hand.
Just as women did decades ago when they fought for the right to wear what they wanted.
Stephen Curry said: ‘To bring these characters and this rich part of our history back to our screens for season 2 is pure joy.
‘Ten Pound Poms is a timeless piece of television and I’m thrilled to be part of an incredible cast.’
Alongside Stephen Curry as JJ and Tina Bursill as Mrs Walker, also returning for the second season are Michelle Keegan, Warren Brown and Faye Marsay.
Also starring are Rob Collins as Ron, Leon Ford as Bill, Declan Coyle as Stevie, Hattie Hook as Pattie, Finn Treacy as Peter.
Likewise Emma Hamilton will appear as Sheila and Cheree Cassidy as Marlene.
